Invitation Accepted
Despite her popularity, Spiranac wasn’t making all that much money at the time of her invitation. She dreamed of playing professionally, but she had a long way to go before she could become a pro. Despite their athletic achievement, Paige’s parents didn’t have the money to pay for her travels on the mini-tours.
Spiranac had been hoping to become a pro, and the invitation was her golden opportunity. What young, hungry aspiring professional golfer wouldn’t take advantage of the opportunity, especially with a sponsor offering to pay the airfare? Paige accepted the invitation, and she was set to make her pro debut in Dubai, in December 2015.
